Abstract

There is a rapid spread of Multiple Sclerosis disorder across the globe, around 2.8 million cases of Multiple Sclerosis in the world. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination, neuroinflammation, and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Many drugs have been tested on MS patients but there is no effective treatment for MS till now. So to inhibit the symptoms caused by MS we performed a study in which we identified various naturally occurring materials with neuroprotective effects on the body that can treat Multiple Sclerosis. The therapeutic strategies portion of the paper reviews the array of disease-modifying therapies currently available for MS management. This paper evaluated their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety profiles. It also addressed emerging treatment paradigms by using different naturally occurring materials, including personalized medicine approaches and novel therapies in development. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge regarding MS, focusing on its pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies.
